Here is a link to a LifeHacker story about Prism. Feature: Create Distraction-Free, Customized Webapps with Prism Prism really has my attention and imagination. I REALLY like how I can run BeTwittered as if it were a regular desktop application. There it is, floating about like a normal window on my desktop. No modifications required from the little web-app it really is. There are a couple issues I have, like lack of packaging things up like a regular, everyday application installer. Another is that web links open in a new Prism window, not my browser. I may find that there are simple solutions to these issues, I haven't looked yet (tonight!) I look at Adobe's AIR, and sigh. Sure, AIR has local system access to your PC, but I'm really not sure how big an advantage that is, and how long it will last. Plus, AIR is..well..Adobe proprietary, and probably brings a lot of crap and baggage. I have a hard time trusting Adobe. I mean, Acrobat reader is now something nearing a 20mb download. Holy crap! It's supposed to be a READER! And why all the advertising baggage? And NO, I don't want a photo album organizer with it. Quit asking! What the hell is that about? So, anyway, Prism looks nice. :^)
